"Great, atoms, paper and ink are not very troublesome to make, as long as we can do it ourselves, even if the quality is a little worse, it's okay, children go to school are the worst paper, and it's so expensive, as long as we can get such paper out, it will solve the big problem." Zhao Chuanyi was overjoyed.

"How did you arrange this, Atom, Xiaoying?" Xu Mei'e, the eldest aunt with a happy face on the side, asked about the punctuality.

"There are a lot of processes involved in making ink, and there are a lot of raw materials used, which is more troublesome, but we can solve it. The scale of the paper mill is relatively large, and I am going to put it on the side of Lao Zhutian, which is close to the Xisha River, and papermaking requires a lot of water and water-powered vehicles, but I am going to let the people of our Xiaozhaozhuang come, and when the time comes, I will call Brother Qiuren and them back to help, uncle, second uncle, third uncle, uncle pole...... What do you guys think? Zhao Yuan asked.

"Of course we agreed, it's a good thing, a few boys have seen some of the market after selling food in your shop for a year, but if you want to be in charge of a workshop, I'm afraid it's still not enough." Zhao Chuanyi said worriedly.

"It's okay, as long as you agree, uncle, I'll go and call Brother Qiuren and them back, as for the food stalls in the shop, sister-in-law and they can continue to operate if they want, but in this way they may often separate, as for Brother Yang, he seems to want to go to Danling County to have a while, Uncle Pole, what do you think?" Zhao Yuan said.

"With such a good thing, what are you going out for?" Zhao Gongzi knew that his youngest son had a temperament, although he was much more restrained after getting married and having children, but compared with his brothers, he was still much more active.

"I don't see this matter that way, Uncle Gongzi, when Brother Yang comes back, you will discuss it carefully, even if you go to Danling, I will guarantee that Brother Yang can have a good development, and I can also let Brother Yang be responsible for the sale of some paper and ink in the future." Zhao Yuan comforted.

"Pole, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, our little Zhao Zhuang is very lucky, there is such a character as an atom, paving the way for the children, what are we old guys worried about, what a good day now, it's just a pity that Dazhu still has a child and his grandfather, and he doesn't enjoy the blessings, hey." Uncle Zhao Chuanyi sighed.

"I don't have a problem, but I feel that the child is too far away after going out, and I can't see it a few times a year." Aunt Hua interjected.

"That's it, isn't it undecided, let's discuss it when the brothers come back, I don't think we can do it today, the atom is back, let's rest for half a day in the afternoon, it's not too late." Zhao Chuanyi said.

"Luoluo, they are still in the forest, and those children, Tie Niu, you go to the forest to take care of them, and we will go back first." Zhao Chuanyi said to Zhao Tieniu again.

"Okay, uncle." Zhao Tieniu nodded, went back to the field, put the farm tools in the back basket, and walked towards the forest, just by the way, you can pick up some dead branches and the like and go back to use firewood.

Zhao Yuan and Meng Ying didn't worry about the safety of the little girl, the children in the countryside are not so particular, and children of a few years old will basically go to the mountains to collect firewood and cut pigweed in the field, and there have been no accidents, at most they have been scratched by branches and the like.

In the Beishan forest, Guo Du took Luoluo and five or six children, looking for a place where there might be rabbits. When the weather warms up, the rabbits come out to forage for food and bask in the sun, but the North Mountain is still very large, and it is not easy to find rabbits. After searching in the forest for a while, the birds flying in the forest attracted Luoluo's attention.

"Uncle Guo Du, do you see if there is a hole over there, will there be rabbits in it?" Luoluo pointed to a small hole under a dried paulownia tree and said.

"Sister Luoluo, be careful of snakes, that hole is so small, rabbits can't get in, it may be a mouse hole." Zhao Qing's daughter Xue Qi denied.

"At this time, even if there is a snake will not run out, there is a big hole in my family's Huaguo Mountain, the year before last I saw a cauliflower snake in it, motionless, my uncle told me that snakes have to hibernate, only when the weather is very warm will wake up." The little girl said a lot of words, and some of them couldn't catch their breath.

"What is hibernation, Luoluo, you know so much."

"Hibernation is sleeping all winter, not eating or drinking, but it's amazing. Uncle Guo Du, let's go over and see if there are any rabbits. ”

"Miss, it's not a rabbit hole, it should be a sparrow hole, you see there are feathers at the entrance of the hole, which are from the sparrow, we can go and see if we can catch a sparrow." Guo Du said with a smile.

"Okay, good, but the little sparrows can't be raised." Luoluo clapped her hands, thinking that the sparrows she had caught before had not been able to feed them, and finally let Uncle Tiezi roast them and eat them.

"It's a sparrow's nest, and I saw the sparrow run in."

"That's right, catch it, Fifth Uncle Guo, you have to be careful, don't catch the sparrow to death." Xue Qi, who was already seven years old, said nervously to Guo Du.

"Sister Xueqi, don't worry, Uncle Guo Du is amazing." Luoluo grabbed Zhao Xueqi's arm and watched with some nervousness as Guo Du slowly approached the tree hole.

"Then let's go farther, otherwise the little sparrow will not be able to catch it if it is scared away, there is a dog bone over there, but it is sweet, let's pick it." Zhao Xueqi nodded and said, walking towards a shrub with a few children.

Dog bone is a kind of shrub in the mountain forest of Xiaozhaozhuang, its fruit is a berry, the color is black after ripening, similar to blueberry, but the fruit is not as big as blueberry, it tastes sour and sweet, but there are many insects in the mountain forest, some fruits are crawled by insects, it is not so hygienic, it is easy to have diarrhea after eating, adults generally do not let children eat more.

"Really, let's go pick it up, Uncle Guo Du, let's not go far, it's on the side. Sister Xueqi, let's look for it again in a while, pick some more and bring them back to my uncle and aunt, as well as the girls at the lower river dam. Luoluo said hello to Guo Du, and took his friends to pick wild fruits.

There were not many wild fruits on the bushes, and each person had five or six of them, and after Luoluo and a few children ate the dog bones, they stretched out their heads dyed purple by the wild fruits, laughing with each other, full of joy.

In Zhao Yuan's house, several uncles and aunts went into the house to find a stool and sit down, listening to Zhao Yuan carefully talk about how to make ink. Zhao Yuan took out the tools he brought and explained the use of these tools to everyone.

"The main two steps of ink making are to collect tobacco and boil glue, this smoke, can be mixed in many ways, but we mainly use pine tobacco, we are in the mountains near Xiaozhaozhuang, the most trees are pine, so there is no problem with raw materials. But there is one point, although we have a lot of pine trees here, we can't cut them down at will, we have to cut down one tree and plant two trees, uncle, you have to do a good job of supervision......
